Holographic Bue Stamping

I realize the photograph is a very good, but I really like this design. For it, I used blue moon lagoon which is a holographic light blue by OPI, with NFU Oh 61 which is a very pretty holographic silver. Both of these polishes stamped pretty well with the silver not working as well as the blue.

I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. Unfortunately I went swimming the day after I did the design and it chipped off.

What do you think of holographic nail polishes? Personally they're my favorite.

Blue swirls and Sparkles

More nails! This was many layers of paint because I kept failing to get it right. I ended up with 2 layers of white followed by 3layers of blue bar sparkles by zoya, then finally stamped with white. I do like the way it turned out after all that, but it isn't going to stay on long, it has already started chipping. XD

For some reason when a mani doesn't go the way I want, I don't give up an keep trying to fix it. What do you guys do?

Ugly? Tips...

I have major issues using these kinds of tip stamps... They look so pretty, but I just can't seem to get them to turn out right... anyone else have this issue?

Odd Stamped Swirls

Ah, haven't stamped enough recently. :D

25 Days of Christmas Gingerbread Men

I have never tried this stamp before so I thought now would be a good time. :D

This is Wet and Wild Sagreena The Teenage Witch, stamped with Sally Hansen Forbidden Fudge.

Starting 25 Days of Christmas Nails

Not to be confused with aligning to the song. XD I am not really interested in trying to do that. lol

Starting with some holly stamps. :D

The base for this is OPI DS Extravagence, but I can't seem to find or remember what I used to stamp.

Be prepared for the next 25 days to be filled with Christmas nails! :D

Lacy red on gold

Love how this turned out! Wish I could remember the polishes I used. XD

31 Day Challenge! Day 25 - Inspired by a Fashion

Here is the "fashion" I was inspired by.

Here are my Base colors. Sally Hansen Silver Sweep and Orly Liquid Vinyl

I then stamped the reverse.

I really love these!

Tomorrow is a pattern, shouldn't be that much different than doing a fashion huh?

Ivanka weeds

This is Zoya Ivanka stamped with some weed like image.

Here's the close-up.

I actually love the way this turned out. I also like the green backdrop that my boyfriend so graciously supplied... This is the color of his room by the way. It may be a little over-powering, but it looks great. :D

Matte and back. Pink Wednesday

This is Zoya Lolly in all of her matte glory. Gorgeous all by itself imo.

I stamped over it with Zoya Mira, then layered it with Zoya's Vegas Freeze to add a small shimmer.

Overall I am not in love with Vegas Freeze, but I am testing out ways in which I can make myself like it. :)

Halloween Pumpkins

This is Sally Hansen Crushed with Konad special black stamped on top.

I have wanted to do this stamp forever! I think it turned out pretty good too. :)

Green and Black Shirt Inspiration

Here's the Green and Black Shirt

A quick swatch of Zoya Apple, which is the base I used for the design, (plus I love the color)

And all I did for this one was stamp, but I thought it matched pretty well, as well as just looking pretty. :D

Green and Brown Shirt Inspiration

Swirly Shirt inspiration

A close-up of the swirlies, which are what I tried to duplicate in the mani.

This is Sally Hansen Lime Lights stamped with Sinful Colors Nirvana

Pink Wednesday Shirt Inspirartion

Pink Wednesday Shirt inspiration

Middle-ish step in making the design match the shirt. Stamped with Konad special black, then dotted with Sally Hansen White On.

Finished product, looks alot like the shirt I think. And it was LOVED in my office. 

Purple Crazy Shirt Design

Here's the inspirational shirt

I started with Revlon Grape Icy as my base, wonderful color and it smells great!

I stamped with a mosaic style pattern reversing it with another stamp on the same plate for my accent nails.

I topped it off with two coats of Zoya Vegas Freeze to tint the white.

Swimming Trunk Ispired Design

Next up for my clothing inspiration week!

These are my boyfriend's swimming trunks, and I love the pattern on them, so I decided to do nails to look like them.

Zoya Charla With Shirt inspiration

For this next week, and maybe longer. I'm going to be doing designs inspired by clothes. I think it's a lot of fun to try to match my clothes as well as using it as a challenge.

Starting with one of my work dress shirts!

Here is a swatch of my base color, Zoya Charla.

Blue dress shirt

Then I stamped it with Sally Hansen Insta Dri Silver Sweep.

Subtle yellow stamp, with not-so-subtle accents.

This is done with Sally Hansen HD Lite, stamped with Sally Insta Dri Lightening and Konad special black.

Here are the unsubtle accents.

And the much more subtle yellow stamp

NFU Oh! Bubbles

This is NFU Oh 61 stamped with China Glaze DV8.

It looks like little bubbles, but they are very subtle, maybe next time I will try a darker holo.

Zoya Marina with Jewels

Zoya Marina swatch, not quite what I thought it was going to look like when I ordered it.

The little jewels are stamped with Sally Hansen Silver Sweep.
